My wife’s house in Sacramento gives most of my online pals broad-band envy. Helene has SureWest as her ISP and we get 50 megs in both directions. When I’m in our Sacramento home, the ping test time is 4 ms.
That’s why, like Om, I’m not really expecting much from the cable MSO’s who are rolling out Wideband. They still don’t realize that we real men want to have as much up they can really get down.
